g'day
this is my first fanfiction, its a spot light (i hope its not too long or a drag to read) on the character i created named after my screen name, RagingBull.
as some of you might know im a real beast wars fan. anyways heres the short story, its set in movie continuity.
be sure to check out my Raging Bull character here at the link below:
http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff22 ... rsion3.jpga bit of trivia for those who dont know. RagingBull is the name of a Rob Deniro movie, one of my fav movies off all time, based on fact. Denrio plays a boxer who is nick named RagingBull because of his fighting style. off the top of my head there are no autobots/maximals out there that you could attribute this style of fighting to so i decided to create the character and also take it for my screen name.
also, the 14 in his origional name is my birth date lol.
so please comments most welcome.
cheers
so here it is - Spotlight: RagingBull
RAGING BULL (formerly Unit 14) - MAXIMAL
FUNCTION: FRONT LINE ASSAULT WARRIOR
Raging Bull, originally an Autobot soldier named Unit 14. New to the Autobot defense force fresh out of basic training he was stationed at Iacon City under the command of Prowl. One fateful day, Starscream and his seekers led a mission to Iacon city. The brutal attack came at a complete surprise, Unit 14 stood his ground along with many other Autobot soldiers while civilian Autobots were evacuated. Unit 14 stood his ground until he was the last standing Autobot. The city was near defenseless and the Decepticons reduced it to a wasteland of twisted steel. As the Decepticons trudged through the twisted steel gathering survivors for torture and interrogation they found Unit 14 still barely functional.
Unit 14 was taken to an underground facility, not for torture and interrogation but for torture and training. When Unit 14 came out of stasis lock he found himself repaired and branded with a Decepticon insignia. Then the torture began! Unit 14 was resistant to his captors as they tortured him, putting up a struggle every time a torture device was applied to him. Several times he was able to break his bonds and inflict severe pain onto the torturing Decepticon unlucky enough to be assigned to him.
After an extensive time being tortured and rebuilt only to be tortured again, Unit 14’s mind eventually cracked. Pain meant nothing to him anymore, it just failed to register. He lost all sense of individuality and worth, lost his memories of his Autobot self. Unit 14 was forced into combat with fellow captives, his mind so broken that he had no regard to his fellow Autobot captives. With no sense of morality he fought with brutality and ferocity turning the pain he suffered for so long onto others.
Over years of captivity the body count attributed to Unit 14 piled up into the thousands. With every kill Unit 14 became fiercer, tougher, harder and scared. He became Decepticon. The purpose of all this pain and suffering was to create a soldier with no fear yet not a mindless drone. He mastered all forms of combat he was thrown into, both projectile and skirmish weapons, always head on into the fray even when he was thrown into a fight where he was severely outnumbered.
In his long years of day in day out of fighting not once did he ever submit to his opposition and despite taking severe damage that would have forced any other Autobot or Decepticon into submission. He would often return to his cell missing vital internal parts, limbs, circuits, facial and chest plating but his spark never extinguished. The Decepticons had succeeded in creating the perfect soldier, a soldier impervious to fear and pain with a talent for destruction.
Just when all hope of salvation for Unit 14 was lost, an Autobot raid stormed the training facilities.
In the ensuing battle many of the Autobot captives turned kamikaze and took out many Autobots along with Decepticons. Unit 14 was not part of the battle, for some reason he stayed in his holding cell. Unit 14s mind was gone, he had finally cracked, he was tired of fighting. Throughout the facility screams, gunfire and explosions filled the air. The dieing and the wounded scattered everywhere in piles of twisted metal and blazing fires. Unit 14 remained silent and unnerved by it all.
The only time Unit 14 moved was when a long lost friend darkened the doorway to his cell, Prowl. Seeing his mutilated friend, Prowl took him from his cell and sent him for immediate attention. Once again Unit 14 was in stasis lock not knowing where he was.
Unit 14 awoke from stasis lock, but not in bonds as he did many years ago. He awoke to see Prowl, Optimus Prime and Ratchet. Unit 14 was rebuilt into a new body, free of all the modifications, mutilations and scars of his former body. Seeing his fellow Autobots for the first time awakened something deep inside his spark, a tiny glint of his lost self. But his pain wasn’t over. For the first time in many years he saw the surface of Cybertron. It had changed a lot since he last saw it. With the destruction of the All Spark Cybertron was left in ruin, a wasteland, a dead planet.
But there was hope with the return of Optimus Prime and his troops the Decepticons had left Cybertron and fled to the stars. Optimus Prime had also returned to Cybertron from a place called earth and he brought with him a 2nd All Spark engineered with the help of the Humans and now a mass return of Autobots to Cybertron meant that Cybertron could be rebuilt.
In the best interests of preserving life on earth Optimus Prime declared that the location of Earth be kept secrete form all Cybertronians. Optimus Prime created a new band of Autobots and dubbed them, Maximals. This group was created to provide protection to Earth should the Decepticons ever return. Unit 14 asked to be assigned to the unit so that he may finally serve along side his comrades once more in protecting the innocent from what he experienced.
In order to mask their presence from all tracking systems both Cybertronians and Human, the Maximals were engineered to be much smaller than the average Autobots however most importantly they were engineered so that their bodies could support organic tissue for use as an alternate mode. Unit 14 was given the Maximal upgrade and so the group of 7 embarked on their journey to earth.
The band of Maximal led by a newly upgraded Ironhide arrived on earth unbeknownst to the humans and went into stasis lock only to ever reactivate in the event that the Decepticons ever return. Unit 14 was finally at peace.
500 earth years have now passed since the Maximals arrived and went into hiding and a new threat has come to Earth, Predacons. The Maximals activate and scan beast modes to find this new threat to the human race, but it is already too late. Centuries of human warfare have left the earth in ruins and the human race is on the brink of extinction and now these genetically engineered Decepticon creations pose a final threat to the human race. Unit 14 dubs himself Raging Bull and is once again thrown into battle.
The Transformers: Beast Wars have begun.
